For the wayfinding system of the gallery there won't be a need for Orientation signs as the building is not too large. A list of all the necessary signs was made:

- 16 Identification
- 10 Directional
- 3 Regulatory

some of the directional signs will be used in groups (6 + 2 + 1 + 1)

Pictograms needed:
- café

- ladies toilet
- gents toilet

- education room
- staff kitchen
- private studios
